The Council for Northeast Historical Archaeology
is pleased to announce its

Fifth Annual Competition
for Best Student Paper

to be presented and judged at the

Annual Meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia
October 6-8, 2000


Graduate and undergraduate students are invited to submit abstracts for
twenty-minute papers on any topic related to historical archaeology in the
northeastern United States and the eastern provinces of Canada.  Papers will
be judged by a panel of scholars to be drawn from the fields of historical
archaeology and anthropology, history, material culture, and American
Studies.  Students are required to present their papers orally to the
membership and to submit a copy of the finished paper, with references, to
the organizers in advance of the conference.  The judges will base their
decisions on the content of the paper, the student's presentation, and the
contribution of the paper to the field of historical archaeology.  Winners
will receive a certificate of award, a year's membership in CNEHA, and
publication of their paper in the Council's journal, Northeast Historical
Archaeology.
